This is not a bug.  The problem is that there are two levels of quoting
needed: one for the shell and one for SQL.  As you wrote it, the double
quotes are stripped off by the shell and so pg_dump gets Schema, which
is case-folded per normal SQL rules.  So you need to write

    pg_dump -n '"Schema"' -U postgres database

Now, the shell eats the single quotes and passes "Schema" to pg_dump.
